Re: Virgin Media urges password change over hacking risk

Not sure I understand how/why this should be an issue.
Presumably the default WiFi password printed on the bottom of the modem/router must be unique to each device - otherwise we would all be connecting to our neighbours' networks all the time. So how does that come to have been compromised?
The settings password is another thing, as the default is obviously common to all devices and the user is invited to change it - as I did at the time.
